Every other hand I lost to an inferior hand... and the last hand was the best ever... Im all in with A-10... 4-6 calls... I get 2 pair... Have a look at the hand for the rest...

[kingjames07]

to post partial hand histories is worthless...the people reading them really get no idea of what is really going on...and for the last hand...total pot of 350 chips.....obviosely no big bets by either of you....was that your final hand of the tourney and for all your chips???....if so with a stack that size i'm calling you with any 2 cards just like that guy did...why not show the history of hands u lost instead of posting partial hand histories of mostly hands that you folded???

[Whatsthepassword?]

I don't really share King James's reservations about this. That looks like a rotten run of cards and flops. Impossible to make any headway when you're dealt trash and the flops constantly go against you.

The only alternative is to try a few bluffs by betting big - but then you're out of the tournament when you come up against someone with a real hand.

i will just make a couple of comments:

1) not every hand you lose is a bad beat.

2) playing ace/rag is a formula for losing.

3) you are not going to win every hand and you are not going to win every time you get in with the best of it.

bad beats are a part of poker. if you can't accept them, move on to another game. poker is gambling and there is luck involved, including bad luck.
